In theory, yes, but I can't guarantee it, because such a large jump was never considered.I'm currently running 386.1_2 on my AC86U. Can I update straight to 386.12? I have a basic setup (no mods or scripts).
Which firmware would you recommend I update to from 386.1_2? And then update from there, etc... until finally arriving at 386.12.In theory, yes, but I can't guarantee it, because such a large jump was never considered.
There's no need to upgrade in multiple stages, go directly to the latest. I just can't guarantee that over the course of so many releases that everything will work fine without a factory default reset, a lot has changed over that period of time, and it was never specifically tested.Which firmware would you recommend I update to from 386.1_2?

Thanks It's been a while since I first set it up.Yes, your old user/pass will be gone.
After factory reset you see Quick Internet Setup screen. Follow the instructions.
Some updates on this:
After flashing back and forth to try and figure out an issue (which was most likely client related), the Network Map is no longer working reliably. Wireless clients pop up on other Aimesh Nodes with a LAN icon (meaning they're not connected to that node), slow updates and clients status not updating etc. For a while, they were actually working better as the post above indicates. No longer the case...
So, as previously mentioned, I flashed a bit back and forth to different versions to try and weed out some issues I was having, causing 386.12's initially working (or semi-working/Asus-working) Network Map to act up.Awesome that it was working reliably for you at one time. Has never worked for me.
Dirty update via web UI from 386.11 to 386.12
RT-AC66U B1 384.18 --> 386.1 --> 386.1_2 --> 386.2_6 --> 386.4 --> 386.5 --> 386.5_2 --> 386.7_2 ..RESET.. 386.9 --> 386.10-->386.11
After upgrading from 386.11 to 386.12 on my AC86U main node, I have experienced intermittent connection drops (about 2-3 a day, for a few minutes) on my AC66U_B1 Aimesh node (on stock firmware).
Tried to switch back to stock firmware, same result. I have no further idea.I have a dowload speed issue with a AC66B1 with .12 firmware. Download speed degragated to 120-140Mbps. I tried everything i could: Factory reset and firmware again. switch off parental control, vpn, qos, etc. CTF is enabled. NVRAM is low. Router is responsive, nothing error but slow dowload. I turned off Wifi radio and tried only via UTP directly on router. same result. WAN port showed as 1Gbs on either side (modem and Asus). I pulled all UTP from Asus, only the laptop, router and modem. Same result. Put laptop utp to modem constant 600Mbs. But trough router constant 120Mbps (router mem low, cpu max at 24% at 120mbs). Maybe a hardware problem? (also tried to switch back to .11 -same. upgrade to .12 -same)
Thank you
Gabor
do a full factory reset, if that doesn't work get a new routerTried to switch back to stock firmware, same result. I have no further idea.
try calling your isp to reinitialize the modemTried to switch back to stock firmware, same result. I have no further idea.
Yeah, thanks. tried. same. change it to a fast wired router and asus routers for access pointsdo a full factory reset, if that doesn't work get a new router
